Itchy scratches?

Postby PsyKoViggy » Mon Jan 14, 2008 12:37 pm

Got my BTS back yesterday after his 2 week mite treatment, he seems a lot better although i'm going to check him over with a toothpick in a couple of days.

Anyway, i had him out earlier and where he'd been clinging to me with his claws i had a red itchy area. I'm not at all worried about it, i was just wondering if this is normal or if its just my skin.
Thanks

You are probably mildly allergic to reptiles, its not very rare.

I got that with Pryce a lot at first. Now I still get the red marks, but it's not itchy unless it's a pretty bad scratch.

hmm for once in my life when it comes to allergies i feel lucky! I don't get any marks at all from my skinkers... however i get a similar reaction from birds,mice,rats,cats and dogs. So perhaps i am just lucky not to get it from my BTS??
